Dustin Yu and Bianca De Vera defend relationship from duo challengers: 'Totoo to'
Dustin Yu and Bianca De Vera defended their tandem from the 'Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition' duo challengers on Saturday's episode. During their Big Tapatan time, Dustin said that his bond with Bianca was unexpected. However, the duo challengers countered this. Kira Balinger said that Dustin used to always mention her name, whereas AC Bonifacio said that he asked every girl in the house if they were single. Dustin answered that Kira is 'girlfriend material' physically. Kira then asked, 'So if 'di ko naging ka-duo si Josh [Ford], what would you do?' 'To be honest Kira, hindi kita nakikitang magiging duo ko nung mga araw na 'yun. Honestly, 'till lumabas ka, hindi naman talaga tayo naging close so 'di kita pipiliin,' Dustin replied. Dustin then told the duo challengers, 'Sa lahat ng dito, wala 'kong idea diyan sa loveteam loveteam na 'yan.' Kira asked, 'So, ano 'to?' Dustin quickly answered, 'Totoo. Totoo 'to, Kira. Alam mo 'yan.' Kira asked why Dustin chose Bianca to be his final duo if it wasn't for the loveteam. 'Kasi gusto ko siya,' Dustin said. 'Hindi namin kailangan i-explain kung ano 'yung meron sa 'min.' Kira said that should their relationship be true, she asked the duo why they were so toxic, "Ang daming selos selos na nangyayari, hindi pa naman kayo. Don't you get how that's affecting the other housemates? Ramdam nila 'yan. Selos selos, 'di naman kayo,' Kira said. Bianca then admitted that she was 'scared na nagiging toxic na' especially since they aren't in a relationship yet, and acknowledged the jealousy they felt. 'Merong times na sobrang babaw ng mga pinagaawayan namin and yes, may mga tasks na nadala kayong lahat and for that, we're really, really sorry, Ate Klang, we're really, really sorry,' Bianca said. 'But just like with any type of friendship or relationship, we believe that from those obstacles, we've grown. We've grown a lot,' the actress added. 'With the toxic part, I feel like I did, I thought we were. Pero, feeling ko hindi naman pala. I think it was just a vital part of what we had to go through inside our journey in this house.' "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" airs new episodes on GMA Network weeknights at 9:35 p.m. and Saturdays at 6:15 p.m. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News

The Most Anticipated Houston Restaurant Openings, Summer 2025
Summer has arrived — the kids are out of school, the heat is on, and vacation is calling, hopefully with a drink in hand. Fortunately, Houston's dining scene never rests. This summer, a new slate of long-awaited openings joins some of the hottest restaurants in town. From a pop-up-turned-burger joint in East End to the latest restaurant from the team behind omakase restaurant Neo and hand roll bar Kira, here are the most exciting restaurants opening this summer. Location: 2510 Navigation Boulevard, East End Key player: Chef Joseph Boudreaux Projected opening date: July 2025 After around four years of popping up all over the city, chef Joseph Boudreaux has finally found a permanent spot for his brainchild, Boo's Burgers. Boudreaux will join some of his favorite dining hotspots on Navigation Boulevard's the Esplanade with a burger stand that slings his signature smash burgers. Newcomers can expect crispy-edged smash burgers topped with molten American cheese, smoky remoulade, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and homemade pickles. Boudreaux says the new burger joint will also offer fries and drinks, and, in the future, will be a space for engaging community events. Location: 746 W 24th Street, West University Key players: Comma Hospitality; Samee Ahmed, Saber Ahmed Comma Hospitality, the group behind Neo and Kira, will open its third restaurant this summer, offering a new presentation of Japanese cuisine. Set in a gable-roofed building with expansive windows, the 24-seat hinoki counter restaurant will dish out a combination of sushi, curated tastings, and seasonal dishes. The early menu preview includes Madai nigiri with freeze-dried creme fraiche and chives, a clever nod to the iconic lox bagel; swordfish crudo with kimchi tamari; Alaskan black cod slow-cooked over charcoal with seaweed butter; and banana caviar ice cream. If it's anything like Neo or Kira, the menu's dish descriptions won't fully do the food justice — you'll have to try it yourself to understand its nuances. Drinks include Japanese ingredient–inflected cocktails, sake, and wines meant for pairing. Location: 2410 Richmond Avenue, Upper Kirby Key players: Pappas Restaurants Projected date: August 2025 Pappas Restaurants has tackled Tex-Mex, barbecue, burgers, steak, wine, seafood, diner eats, and Creole cuisine. Now, it's paying homage to its Greek roots. The beloved local restaurant group will open Yiayia's Greek Kitchen in August, whose Greek theme and menu pay tribute to the family's matriarch, Yiayia Mary, and the yiayiades (grandmothers) of Greece, with a robust slate of meze-style shared plates. Greek and Mediterranean dishes will round out the menu with prime rib-eye souvlaki with blistered tomato; dolmades made with beef, lamb, basmati, grape leaves, and pistachio; kalamata olive bread; and traditional moussaka. Location: 2615 Riverside Drive, Riverside Terrace area Key player: Chef Dominick Lee Projected opening date: Summer 2025 Not to be confused with Hotel Saint Augustine, this new Creole restaurant is slated to open this summer in the Black-owned boutique Hotel King David, located in the Riverside Terrace area not far from Third Ward. Fittingly, New Orleans native and chef Dominick Lee, formerly of Poitín, will lead the kitchen, serving 'progressive Creole' cuisine rooted in tradition but with a modern touch. Though the menu is still under wraps, Lee has been teasing dishes at private dinners and high-profile pop-ups, including an impressive fall collaboration with the team at chef Aaron Bludorn's Navy Blue. Lee has held membership-only supper club events and dinners at the hotel with other chefs, including Boudreaux of Boo's Burgers, Top Chef: Houston finalist Evelyn Garcia and recent Top Chef winner Tristen Epps. Eater has tried Lee's pork muffuletta with crispy cracklins; pillowy beignets; crab bisque with hand-rolled fregola; and a take on Lee's grandmother's okra stew crowned with fried okra. If these dishes are any indication of what will be on Augustine's menu, it should be one of summer's most exciting debuts. Location: 6450 Cross Creek Bend Lane, Fulshear Key players: Eat Local Concepts Projected opening date: Summer 2025 The hospitality group behind local restaurant chains Local Table and Hungry's is expanding its reach with a new family-friendly restaurant. Housed in the former space of Italian Made Cafe, the Local Spot will open in Fulshear's Cross Creek Ranch area and offer casual American fare, cocktails, and a menu that features entirely new dishes and some of the favorites — think fettuccine with cream sauce, pizza, salads, and kebabs — from its sister restaurants.
